If you want to keep the stock wheels, you're better off running 255/35/18 in the back and 225/40/18 in the front. Everyone makes those sizes, and although the manufacturer specs say that you need an 8.5"minimum to run a 255 wide tire, you'll be fine with an 8" wheel. I was running 255/35 Direzza II's on my stock rear tires, and they did just fine.
Tire Rack lists 16 different tires in the 245/35-18 range, 14 of which are in the same category as the PSS. Is there something I'm missing? I've been considering a square setup, so I've been looking at this size on an 8" wheel.
